Since that day, Zhou no longer cares about the workshop, she decided to do a good job in the pharmacy wholeheartedly, occasionally Hui Niang goes to the printing workshop, and Zhou's two pharmacy have to take care of it.

Running a pharmacy and a printing workshop at the same time, Zhou and Hui Niang are very busy.

Hui Niang followed Shen Xi's advice and bought the storefront of the new pharmacy and the site of the printing workshop, and the house deed and title deed on both sides added up to a total of two hundred and seventy-four taels of silver, plus the handling fee for the house tooth and the official transfer, three hundred taels were gone.

Because the Zhou family paid the money when buying the property, after Hui Niang bought the place, she discussed with the Zhou family that night, wanting to transfer the courtyard where the Shen family now lives to the Zhou family.

Zhou was greatly surprised when she heard this, she never thought that she would be able to settle down in the city.

Hui Niang solemnly took out the house deed and title deed of the yard and put it in front of the Zhou family.

Zhou shook his head again and again: "Sister, you can't do this, how can you have a few dozen taels of your yard if you sell it, just give it to me for nothing, where can I afford it?" ”

Hui Niang smiled: "My sister is not right, my sister paid to help my sister buy a store and a venue, and now my sister is only returning a small yard, in fact, this transaction is made by my sister." ”

"But...... I don't dare to call the shots, why don't I wait for my conscienceless to come back in the evening and discuss it with him? ”

Hui Niang pondered for a moment and asked, "It's not impossible for my sister to discuss with my brother-in-law, I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will know that this yard belongs to my sister, so I think it has become the Shen family's property, and then tell the family." What if the old man doesn't let his sister's family continue to live here? ”нéíуапGě.сОМ

Zhou was stunned: "No...... No way? ”

Shen Xi gave Hui Niang a thumbs up in his heart, and immediately took over the conversation: "Mother, grandmother handed over the tea shop to the second uncle to operate, and it seems that she didn't ask for your consent, right?" Your things are the things of the house, and your grandmother is the head of the family, and now she herself still lives in the lobby uncle's house, what do you say she will do when she knows the ownership of the house? ”

Shen Xi said this, and Zhou immediately understood the key.

If Hui Niang transferred the yard to the Zhou family, it would be equivalent to transferring the yard to the Shen family and even the old lady Li family, and the Li family would have enough reasons to move over, and even let the second son Shen Mingyou, who was renting outside, also move over, and Hui Niang's kindness helped instead.

Seeing that the Zhou family understood, Shen Xi couldn't help but remind: "Actually, it's good that Aunt Sun can rent the yard to us now...... If Aunt Sun transferred the yard to us, my father and grandmother would wonder if there was any cat in it, and soon the story of my mother and Aunt Sun's partnership in a printing workshop would be known to them. Or the grandmother will blame the mother for the light business of the tea shop. ”

Hui Niang hadn't thought so much about it before, and nodded again and again after hearing Shen Xi's words: "It's still Xiaolang who thinks about it thoroughly, so ...... My sister can't repay my sister? ”

Zhou said with a smile: "Look at what you say, it's all your own family, what is there to repay or not, as long as the business does well in the future." ”

Although Hui Niang did not give the yard to the Zhou family, the relationship between them became closer. Originally, the two of them were so good that they were like glue, but now as long as Shen Mingjun doesn't come back, the Zhou family will definitely come over to sleep with Hui Niang.

Shen Xi is very happy, if he is at home, there is only Lin Dai by his side, and when he comes to Hui Niang's side, every time Lin Dai comes over with Lu Xi'er to listen to his story, and sleeps next to him at night. Compared with Lin Dai's introvertedness, Lu Xi'er doesn't care so much, and her obsession with Shen Xi is more direct, and Shen Xi can sleep with the fragrant little Lori every time.

In the next few days, the printing workshop was not very busy, and after printing 500 copies of the first and second volumes of the comic book "The Legend of Tong Lin", the printing workshop had resumed its previous business mode, mainly printing text content of the story, the only difference was that according to Shen Xi's proposal, a few pages were added in the middle with pictures.

As Han Wuye finished the story of "Romance of the Gods", this book also entered the state of printing, and after it was launched on the market, the response was good, but it was not as profitable as the comic strip.

As the comic strips of "The Legend of Tong Lin" began to be sold in Ninghua County, the thirst of the people in the city for follow-up albums skyrocketed, and Shen Xi not only took advantage of his spare time to create the original paintings of the third and fourth comic strips, but also began to carry out a new "experiment" to mix more durable and effective inks.

When Shen Xi first conceived of publishing comic strips, he hoped to print color comic strips, which were colorful and colorful, and even if they were not particularly realistic, they would look much better than ordinary comic strips.

Shen Xi understands that comic books are only in their infancy, so it will be difficult for others to imitate them, but they can't underestimate the skills of folk craftsmen, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone succeeds in copying them, and when their printing workshop prints monotonous black and white comic books, there will not be much market.

Only when the color comic strip is printed, then it will take a long time for other craftsmen to research and crack it, and the benefits of printing the comic strip will be sustained and maximized.

But after all, Shen Xi is from a liberal arts background, and he doesn't have much experience in the deployment of ink, not to mention that many chemical raw materials are not available in this era, so he can only be completed little by little.

Shen Xi's first thought was to steal the printing and dyeing workshop, and asked Hui Niang to invite a craftsman in printing and dyeing to use herbs and dyes to mix colors. After Shen Xi mixed the colors, he could not be used to print books due to problems with viscosity, adhesion, thixotropy, and dryness.

Shen Xi synthesized the books on the ink formula ratio that he had read in his previous life, and after many tests, he barely prepared qualified ink.

With the applicable ink, Shen Xi then experimented with how to increase the color, from the initial only black, red, blue three colors gradually developed to the later basically red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and a few relatively bright variegated colors, which can fully meet the needs of printing color comics.

Shen Xi used color dyes to color the original paintings of the first and second volumes of "The Biography of Tong Lin", and when the finished painting was handed over to Hui Niang to see, Hui Niang couldn't believe her eyes.

"Xiaolang, how did you do it? How long have you been working on it, and how did you get it done? Quickly call your mother over, let's take a closer look, when will this color be added to the comic strip? "Hui Niang can't wait to turn Shen Xi's technology into a product that will bring rich profits.

Shen Xi smiled: "Auntie seems to be more anxious than me...... Now the research is just in its infancy, let's print the old kind of comic books, anyway, there is enough profit, when piracy starts to appear on the market, I guess I can increase the color tone to more, the technology is more comprehensive, and then we will bring the color comic books to the market. ”

Hui Niang nodded, her face full of longing.

Shen Xi can bring her huge surprises almost every time, which makes her like and can't do without Shen Xi more and more, and many times she regards Shen Xi as an adult who can be used as a person to discuss, and even obeys her words.

Shen Xi said: "Aunt, in order to prevent leakage, this time I discussed the deployment method with different people, they come from different industries, and basically prevent others from mastering this core technology." In the future, we will mix color ink, the formula is under my full control, and the people in the workshop are only responsible for printing, so that even if someone poaches them at a high price, our technology will not be leaked. ”

Hui Niang nodded in agreement, but she was still a little worried: "Xiaolang, no matter how good you are at keeping it secret, but after all, we have to buy raw materials, and others will naturally guess what we use to mix the ink, so don't you still have to show the stuffing?" ”

"Aunt Sun can rest assured, although we bought rosin, tung oil, paraffin, and black charcoal ash from outside, there are many materials, such as plants...... It's herbal medicine, but I took it directly from the warehouse in the backyard of the pharmacy, and I didn't even tell Aunt Sun what it was used for. Even if they were able to get dye, it would only be used for writing, and the key technology for printing color comic strips was still in our hands. ”

Hui Niang was confused when she heard this, and looked at Shen Xi with a tilted head: "Xiaolang, are these things really researched by yourself?" ”

"Yes, so please Aunt Sun relax, we have the technology to print color comics, it will take at least a few years for others to crack, there are a few years, we are enough to occupy the market, even if they study it, our comic books have already created a great reputation, they can't fight if they want to."

Shen Xi drew a big cake for Hui Niang again, and this cake will bring a steady stream of wealth.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, Hui Niang felt that she could run a business at the beginning, after all, she had been guarding the pharmacy for some years, and the pox was praised by the imperial court, and others called her the "goddess doctor", it seems that she should take root in the pharmacy business.

But now she found that the prospect of opening a printing workshop was even broader, which made her fall into a deep confusion, whether to stick to the pharmacy business or do printing?

You can't do both!

When Hui Niang had this idea, she wanted to find someone to discuss, and she thought of her good sister Zhou.

But in the past few days, Shen Mingjun has come back every night, and she has no chance to have a long talk with Zhou, so she has to hold it in her heart and be depressed.
